Kaffa Province
Kaffa (Kefa) was a province on the southwestern side of Ethiopia; its capital city was Jimma. It was named after the former Kingdom of Kaffa. The etymology of Kaffa is apparently from Arabic ''qahwah'' ‘a drink from berries’.〔Wilhelm Sturmfels and Heinz Bischof: ''Unsere Ortsnamen im ABC erklärt nach Herkunft und Bedeutung'', Bonn, 1961, Ferdinand Dümmlers Verlag〕 For further see the entry Coffee.
Kaffa was bordered on the west by Sudan, on the northwest by Illubabor, on the north by Walega, on the northeast by Shewa, on the east by Sidamo, and on the southeast by Gamu-Gofa.
== History ==
This province came into existence as a result of Proclamation 1943/1, which created 12 ''taklai ghizat''s from the existing 42 provinces of varying sizes.〔Bereket Habte Selassie, ("Constitutional Development in Ethiopia", ''Journal of African Law'' ), 10 (1966), p. 79.〕 A comparison of the two maps in Margary Perham, ''The Government of Ethiopia'' shows that Kaffa was created by combining the former kingdoms of Kaffa, Jimma, Gera, Gomma, Limmu and Janjero, with the 1935 provinces of Guraferda, Benesso, Maji, Shewa Gimira, Goldiya, Konta, Kullo.〔Perham, ''The Government of Ethiopia'', second edition (London: Faber and Faber, 1969), maps 1 and 2〕 As a result the Kingdom of Kaffa, which had been conquered by Menelik II of Ethiopia in 1897, contributed the name to the new province, while the Kingdom of Jimma, an old rival to Kaffa, contributed the capital city.
With the adoption of the new constitution in 1995, Kaffa became part of the Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Regions.
